Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 997 The Conditions for Resurrection

Ann probably doesn't understand the difference between whether the Abyss wants to be resurrected and whether it is destined to devour the Wizarding World.

But in Saul's view, once the cause was identified, he had a direction to take.

He first found Claire and Brando waiting outside. Although the two continued their experiment as Thor had instructed, they were somewhat distracted. So when Thor called them, they immediately put down their less important work and rushed over.

"A conclusion so quickly?" Claire, who was very familiar with Thor, naturally asked first.

"The specific action plan has not yet been finalized. However, the overall direction is still to increase the number of skeletons under our control."

No matter how strong a single skeletal monster is, it cannot possibly be stronger than an anchor point. Therefore, they are not contenders for a direct confrontation with the Abyss.

Claire and Brando were completely confused, but they still readily obeyed Thor's orders.

Thor found a place to lie down, closed his eyes, and entered the iridescent world.

……

The Colorful Channel, where six people gather.

This is the first time since Thor advanced to the fourth rank that he has gathered all the Fate Symphony targets.

Gorsa: [Is this your information transmission channel? Interesting, it can even directly transmit consciousness information without any data loss.]

Gorsa's mentor could not sense that Thor was communicating with them from outside the wizarding world, but he could sense that the information transmission was almost unimpeded.

"Mentor, this is the Colorful Channel. My four friends and I are communicating through the connection we established before."

Char: [Mentor? Haha, Thor, why are you calling the fifth person your mentor?]

Gorsa: [An upside-down tree?]

Char: […I suddenly remembered. I'll head out now.]

Char Aznable, of course, had no ability to leave the chat platform on his own initiative, so he could only shrink to the side and pretend that he did not exist.

"I've invited everyone here today because there's something very important I want to discuss with you all. It concerns the Eye of the Abyss, so I hope we can all analyze it together."

Upon hearing the name "Eye of the Abyss," everyone fell silent.

This time, Thor directly told everyone about the Chaotic Realm and the Abyss beyond it, and also shared his own speculations.

"Seeing the scene inside the Abyss, I believe my mentor's view that the Abyss is actually a corpse is correct. And Camus's words mean that this corpse now wants to be resurrected! Therefore, the key to stopping the Black Tide's eruption lies in how to stop the Eye of the Abyss from resurrecting?"

After Thor finished speaking, no one from the other consciousnesses spoke for a short period of time.

Thor wasn't in a hurry and gave them time to process this information.

He had known about the relationship between the Eye of the Abyss and the Chaotic Realm for several years, and was long past the shock stage, but for everyone else, except for Mentor Gorsa, it was the first time they had learned about it.

Instructor Gorsa had spent some time in the Chaotic Domain, but he was unaware that outside the Chaotic Domain lay the interior of the Abyss, which had nearly driven him to complete madness.

After a while, Gorsa spoke first.

Gorsa: [The Eye of the Abyss I see is different from what you see. However, this also suggests your guess is likely correct. Because what you see is the inside of the abyss, while what I see is the outside. I just never imagined that such a seemingly small abyss could contain an entire world inside.]

Thor whispered, "This is the sixth order that we cannot yet comprehend."

Thor has already made some progress on the fifth tier, after all, he has already come to the Rainbow World with the help of Pell as a coordinate, and later traveled back and forth several times with the platform created for him by the Deathbringer.

Thor now has some practical experience with world walls and world travel. And Deathbringer seems quite happy to let Thor visit frequently.

Floco: [The difference between rank six and rank five is much greater than the difference between rank five and rank four. If starting from rank five, wizards shift from exploring their inner selves to understanding the external world, then rank six transforms that understanding into power.]

Since Gorsa didn't know Froco, Thor told him the identities of the others separately.

To Thor's surprise, Gorsa did not show much interest even when he learned that Froco was an injured fifth-order warrior.

He was more interested in Xia, who was about to advance to the third rank, and Midor, who had become a third rank without even realizing it.

As for the Wailing Wall, Thor could only control it, but could not communicate with it.

Floco was unaware of Thor and Gorsa's whispered conversation, but after learning that the Abyss might erupt within a few years, he began to generously share the information he knew.

Floco: [The power attribute of the sixth tier is destruction. They have seen through the essence of how the world works and know how to change that essence. Therefore, when a true sixth-tier being destroys the world, it is not a brutal act of destruction, but rather a process of causing it to disintegrate from within. Thus, simply pursuing the upper limit of power will not lead to advancement to the sixth tier.]

"Wizards went from pursuing knowledge to pursuing power, and finally back to pursuing knowledge," Thor sighed, "everything has come full circle."

Char finally spoke up amidst the serious atmosphere of the discussion.

Char: [But aren't fourth-tier wizards supposed to be immortal? Why do sixth-tier wizards still die?]

This time, it was Professor Gorsa who answered him.

Gorsa: [No life can exist forever. Fourth-order immortality is only immortality under certain conditions and resurrection when the foundation is undamaged. When the source of your power collapses, your life will come to an end. Like Wizard Murphy, and Patriarch Norton. Now he only has one or two years left. I wonder if he wants to see the end of the world.]

Death is always a heavy topic.

Flo added.

Floco: [The same applies to the fifth tier. Even in terms of the level of life itself, the difference between the fifth and fourth tiers isn't significant. We simply have a broader perspective. We can pursue more and more profound knowledge. But such pursuit is extremely dangerous, even more so than when wizard apprentices first encounter knowledge. Because in this vast world, what you believe to be truth can be overturned at any time. Every intelligent being you encounter may want to overturn your knowledge system to verify their own. Every verification signifies progress in knowledge, and also a step towards the sixth tier.]

Upon hearing this, it was as if a lightbulb suddenly went off in Saul's head.

"Wait, Floco, do you mean that between the fifth rank, as long as you overturn the other's knowledge system, you can destroy them?"

Floco: [That's one way to put it. When traveling through different worlds, most of them operate under different rules. A fifth-tier being is able to maintain their own rules, remaining unaffected and unassimilated by other worlds, thus preserving their identity and continuing their journey. However, if their own understanding fails, a fifth-tier being will also be completely alienated. Their physical bodies may remain strong and continue to exist, but their inner consciousness will go completely insane.]

"That's probably it. When your worldview is completely shattered, you naturally go insane. For a wizard, the absence of reason is no different from death."

Thor felt his heart racing, even though he didn't need a heart in the iridescent world.

"Then the sixth rank is likely similar to the fifth rank. His death stemmed from a breakdown in his understanding of the essence, and if he wanted to be resurrected..."

"Then we need to rebuild our understanding of the essence!"
